Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deciding whether bear rhymes with chair and deciding whether it rhymes with deer are both examples of phonological processing, which is a lower level of processing involved in recognizing and manipulating the sounds of language. Thinking about how a bear and a dog are similar involves semantic processing, which is a higher level of processing that involves understanding the meaning and significance of words and concepts. Therefore, choice C illustrates two different levels of processing.
